Support for full Bluetooth profiles - including accessories, keyboards, low energy

Windows Phone loses usability, market visibility and relevance, and falls behind competing products by not supporting the HID Bluetooth profile (and others) for actions such as hooking up Bluetooth accessories including game controllers, keyboards, and low energy accessories e.g. sport (Pebble). Full compatibility between WP8 and the massive Bluetooth ecosystem is important to

Proper Bluetooth SPP support for Pebble Smartwatch and other accessories. · January 06, 2013 ·

Please allow SPP support so that WP users can use many different types of bluetooth accessories. iOS and Android both allow this, and there is no reason (I know of) why Windows Phone 8 shouldn't have it either.

As a business user, an external keyboard is indispensible when taking notes at meetings.

My Symbian E71x had this compatibility--FIVE YEARS AGO

You want business users to take WP7 seriously, and to open up the business market wide? You will need more that Office integration--One of the great draws of a Smart Phone is the freedom from carrying around a heavy notebook or laptop-- a collapsing Bluetooth keyboard allows this to happen, when taking notes at a meeting, or when writing a report on a plane.

Pretty much all the big names - iPhone, Android, Blackberry etc.. Support bluetooth connectivity to mini bluetooth keyboards which a great many people prefer to the often 'limp wristed' touch screen keyboard - Silly to think a Windows phone 7 didn't include a feature that is present on every other phone AND even present on the old windows phone, 6.5 if I'm correct.

My carrier recently gave $75 off a new phone. I got a Lumia with windows. I'm actually VERY sorry I bought a Windows phone now. Windows doesn't allow the package Emulators use on the marketplace. I bought a keyboard to use VBA, which runs smoother than VBA for that reason. However, now I find out can't use that keyboard.

While my use is specific, most agree it's ridiculous to limit Bluetooth. If Microsoft won't support us, we shouldn't support Microsoft.

For all Microsoft's talk of listening to the community it's long running issues like this one that leave me wondering if it's just that - talk. Windows Mobile always had this feature and after almost 5 years Windows Phone has lacked it. Time to rectify this lack of HID. It's TIME.

ahhh I sold my toshiba encore and bought a 1520 because I thought I would be able to do word processing on it! please add HID bluetooth support!! I didn't even consider that it might not be available, why is Microsoft living in the dark ages?

They cut keyboard and mouse support years ago. They cut the ability to edit Office 365 documents from OneDrive. What major feature are they cutting this time? I want a list. I made a huge mistake buying my 1520.
